One cannot stick a spade in the ground in England without uncovering some history.
This mass grave of executed Viking Warriors was found at Ridgeway Hill in Dorset in 2009 by men working on a road. They have been dated to the reign of Aethelred the Unready (unraed). The nickname is a pun: Aethelred means noble counsel and unraed means bad counsel.The reign did not go well, although he did codify jury trials by twelve thegns and the reeve.
